(I Don't Stand a) Ghost of a Chance (with You) Songtext
von Ella Fitzgerald

Why did you let me love you?
Why did you let me fall?
Why should it be
When it′s plain to see
That you can't see me at all?

I need your love so badly
I love you, oh, so madly
But I don′t stand a ghost
Of a chance with you

I thought at last
I'd found you
But other loves
Surround you
And I don't stand a ghost
Of a chance with you


If you′d surrender
Just for a tender
Kiss or two
You might discover
That I′m the lover
Meant for you
I'd be true

But what′s the good
Of scheming
I know
I must be dreaming
For I don't stand a ghost
Of a chance with you

I don′t stand a ghost
Of a chance with you
And I don't stand a ghost
Of a chance with you

If you′d surrender
Just for a tender
Kiss or two
You might discover
That I'm the lover
Meant for you
I'd be true


But what′s the good
Of scheming
I know
I must be dreaming
For I don′t stand
A ghost of a chance
With you
